Clothes for each Season & each Month

We provide information on appropriate clothes for each season and clothes for each month (Monthly Recommended Clothes).

Clothes for each Season

If you plan to visit the beautiful city of Venice you must pack your bags according to the season you will visit. So, without wasting any time let us get to learn the appropriate clothes style for each season in Venice.

How to dress in Spring

In the spring season, weather can change really fast. In the days closer to summer, nights are quite cool and refreshing and days are pleasant and warm. However, at the beginning of the spring season, days can be sunny and warm or may be rainy and dreary.

If you are visiting Venice during spring then you can carry some of your pretty dresses ? the wrap dresses, shift dresses, or the mid-length ones. You decide the type but carrying dresses is a must. You may take along a duster silk jacket in pastel soft colors which you can cover yourself with if the weather turns slightly cooler. Do not forget to carry some statement jewelry to complete your look, as these are really popular in Venice.

How to Dress in Summer

In the summer season Venice can be really hot, and at the same time, you may also meet floods. You may need to walk elevated routes to move around so make sure you pick your shoes accordingly. Leather footwear should be avoided as they may get ruined.

You can start sightseeing quite early in the morning so as to avoid the heat. The nearby beaches can be visited during the afternoons. For mornings you can wear something that is chic and comfortable. Wide-leg trousers with off-the-shoulder top and loafers or ballet flats will make you look perfect and comfy. When going to the beach you can wear one-pieces in fun patterns and over it, you can wear a floral frock. Do not forget to carry your sunglasses and a good sunscreen to keep you sun safe.

How to Dress for Fall

Fall is the ideal season to visit this beautiful city, as the days are sunny and the overall weather is nice and mild. Though the weather is more manageable compared to the sunny and wet days, you may experience a few sunny or wet days as well, so do remember this while packing.

For the fall season, you can carry pieces that you can mix and match like an A-line skirt, thin sweaters, dark denim, floppy hat, and smart blouses. You can even wear a jumpsuit to be comfortable all day long. Heels should best be avoided as the roads are uneven and the bridges slippery. Instead, carry loafers, ballet flats, and boots that will help you walk for long without getting uncomfortable. Do carry a scarf which you can wrap around when you go out for dinners, and do carry an umbrella as rains can be unpredictable.

How to Dress in Winters

Venice can be really cold during the winter months, with January being the coldest. So, if you are about to visit Venice in the winters then you need to pack the right clothing to fight the chilling wind.

Do take a really warm coat which is also stylish. During the day you can wear a wool peacoat and a thick sweater underneath. As far as the bottoms are concerned you can carry black wool leggings, dark denim, or dark corduroys. For tops, opt for button-downs in a solid color and thick sweaters in neutral shades. If you want to look all nice and dressy then you can wear a shift-style black dress or a wool pencil skirt and a nice pair of warm boots. Also, take along a pair of leather gloves, scarf, and wool beanie to stay perfectly warm and cozy.
